Excerpt from Tech Africa
Over 1,000 policymakers, investors, technologists and civil society leaders are expected to gather in Nairobi, Kenya next month for the inaugural Africa Digital Assets Summit (ADAS), a 2-day conference exploring the role of blockchain, cryptocurrency and tokenisation in advancing financial inclusion across the continent.
The summit, scheduled for 29-30 April 2026 at the Catholic University of East Africa (CUEA) in Nairobi, is convened by Kenyan economist Fred Ogola. The event will bring together stakeholders from across the digital assets ecosystem to discuss how emerging financial technologies can serve underbanked populations in Africa.
